Ingredients

115g plain flour

1/2 level tsp bicarbonate of soda

115g caster sugar

40g ground almonds

115g butter, melted

12 whole almonds

Method

Pre-heat the oven 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl. Add the sugar and almonds, and mix, then add the melted butter.

Shape into 12 balls and put on the baking trays, leaving a gap between them. Press lightly with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly. Press a nut into the top of each.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Leave on the tray for 10 minutes to cool slightly and firm up, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
